The binding rate between antibody and antigen depends on the afinity constant. The affinity constant can be affected by temperature, pHl and bufer composition. The formation of antibody antigen complexes can also be controlled by changing the relative concentration of antibody and antigen in solution. Since tis usualy impossible to change the concentration of the antigen. the optimal working concentration (dilution) of each antiboy must be determined for each application and each experimental condition.

Many Abcam antibodies have recommended dilutions for diferent experiments in the data sheet, We recommend trying to start with these dilutions. However, these dilutions may require some optimization.

Optimization of antibody dilution: titration experiment

The best titer or dilution ofZu is the concentration (dilution) to obtain the best dyeing efect with the least background /nonspeciic combination.he best antibody concentration for each assay must be determined by experiment. lt is usually determined by using a series of dilutions in titration experiments.
When a new antibody is received in the aboratory, it is recommended to try to determine the best antibody dilution by titration test to obtain the best result.

In order to carry out titration experiment the first step is to select a fxed incubation time. Then a series of antibodies with experimental dilution were prepared for testing.Each dilution should be tested for the same type of sample to keep the experimental conditions standardized.
Many antibodies have itle difference in performance between batches, so you only need to cary out a titration test. However, the concentration of polyclonal antiserum antibody may be significantly diferent among dliferent animals or at diferent time of serum collection. In these cases, or when you notice a change in staining results between batches of any antibody, we recommend that the antibody be titrated aaain to obtain the optimal concentration
